"Pick-Up Food Options: La Luna Di Luca, Poor Boys. One of the biggest green spaces in London, Richmond Park is a whole-day situation. It’s easy to get lost in this park, and the size means as packed as it is, you will never be fighting for picnic real estate. But because the park is huge, you need a well-planned picnic strategy, this is not a spontaneous decide-where-to-meet-when-we-get-there or meet-in-the-middle-of-the-park type park. Our top places to perch here are either the Richmond Hill Viewing Point by the Richmond Gate entrance and the gardens underneath. We like to pick up a pizza from La Luna Di Luca. Or if you’re closer to the Kingston Gate, the area surrounding the Isabella Plantation (a woodland garden with ponds and lakes) is a great place to unwind after picking up some fried prawn subs from Poor Boys. It’s peaceful, and a lovely place to spend a day in the sun." - rianne shlebak
